Wasi, a new physical therapist from Home Health came today and made Doug work on balance and strength. He has been tuckered out ever since - took a couple of naps. Wasi emphasized that Doug will feel better each day but still needs to be careful for several weeks, not lifting arms above his head, nothing more than 5 lbs (or a milk jug), not swinging his arms back or forward, etc. He was very impressed that Doug was up and dressed - all the other people he saw today were not.=) He was also impressed at what good shape Doug's in, how his incision is looking, and his attitude. So I guess it's a good thing that Doug is self-motivated and self-disciplined, and that he has a wife who takes good care of him!=)
